\nThe price you can expect to pay when filing for a divorce will vary depending on several factors, including:
\n\u2022\tWhether you are the divorce petitioner or respondent (the person applying for the divorce or their spouse).
\n\u2022\tWhether you use a solicitor or a DIY divorce service.
\n\u2022\tWhether your divorce is contested or uncontested.
\n\u2022\tWhether your divorce involves a financial settlement and, if so, the complexity of the settlement.
\n\u2022\tWhether you require divorce mediation.

\nDivorce centre fee<\/strong>
\nNo matter what the circumstances of your divorce and the route you take when filing it, you will be required to pay a fee of \u00a3550 to the divorce centre to cover the cost of court fees upon applying for your divorce.<\/p>\n
\nIt is possible to fill out and apply for your divorce without the help of a solicitor to save yourself some money. Bear in mind though that this can be a stressful and complicated process which could prolong the process of getting divorced. If your divorce requires a financial settlement, then you will also require legal help with this.
\nOn average, using a solicitor to apply for a divorce costs between \u00a31000 and \u00a31500.
\nThis cost will increase if you and your partner cannot come to an agreement about finances.<\/p>\n
